But since the other side wanted to play, he naturally had no reason to make trouble, so he simply banned EZ.

EZ over at Biluo Bridge still wanted to flame, but unfortunately, no one echoed him. Plus, the canyon’s famous “pianist” William Thompson was, for once, not flaming anyone, but instead said something so positive.

It was like when you’re at your lowest, and you see someone a hundred times worse off than you still living so optimistically—you suddenly feel embarrassed to complain anymore.

So after William Thompson finished typing, his teammates quickly sprang into action.

After clearing a wave on top lane, he also entered the river, moving toward mid.

Both William Thompson and the enemy Riven had taken Ignite and Flash as their summoner spells this game. Without Teleport, to avoid getting caught out at the dragon fight, he naturally had to rotate over early to support.

At the same time—

In Theshine’s livestream chat.

“Top lane’s minions are under tower, why isn’t Brother Shine clearing the wave and just sitting there?”

“Is he camping for someone?”

“Camping? Looks like the enemy’s all at dragon, who could he catch here?”

“Could it be the enemy Yasuo?”

“I saw Yasuo walk back after pushing the wave. Even if he goes bot, he should go through their inner turret, right?”

“Hey! Looks like he’s coming!”

“Damn! He really is coming!”

“Nice, Brother Shine’s camp is working!”

“......”

By the Baron river, Theshine’s figure crouched quietly in the brush, the emerald glow of his sword flickering in his hand, like a hunter waiting for his prey.

And in the grass at his feet,

There was a control ward.

That’s right, William Thompson knew this Infernal Drake was crucial.

Theshine knew even better that the enemy knew this dragon was crucial, so with a teamfight about to break out, Yasuo’s recent wave push was obvious to him.

At this moment, as soon as he saw that figure appear, Theshine’s face didn’t show much expression, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift.

At the same time, his hands on the keyboard and mouse flexed slightly, as if relaxing or warming up.

Actually, Riven’s items were already CDR boots + Black Cleaver + Tiamat. With her ult up, she could easily one-shot a Yasuo who only had Statikk Shiv + Cloak of Agility + boots.

But Theshine wasn’t just after a kill—he wanted speed, a speed that would leave everyone, including that Yasuo, stunned!

That level 2 first blood—

On one hand, he was careless.

On the other, he had to admit, the enemy’s sword was indeed fast.

But what Theshine wanted to say was,

His sword

Was just as fast!

....

The river’s surface rippled gently,

Yasuo’s figure drew closer and closer,

A cold glint flashed in Theshine’s eyes, and the sword in his hand seemed to tremble with bloodlust.

He couldn’t restrain its thirst!

But just as he was about to activate his ult, Blade of the Exile, from the brush, the enemy Yasuo suddenly paused, stopping in the river.

“Huh? Why did Yasuo stop moving?”

“Did he get spotted?”

“Shouldn’t be, there’s a control ward in the brush, and Shine swept all the way in.”

“Maybe it’s instinct? Aren’t pro players supposed to have good game sense?”

“Come on, I heard the enemy is William the Great, he’s got that J2-level instinct.”

“So what’s going on?”

What was going on?

A hint of hesitation flashed across Theshine’s face as well.

On one hand, he was sure he hadn’t been spotted by enemy vision coming over; on the other, he was a bit thrown off by the enemy’s actions.

Was it just a coincidence, or was he baiting?

There really are players with good awareness who, sensing danger in a brush, deliberately path to bait the enemy into revealing themselves—that’s a kind of danger sense.

The next moment, Theshine confirmed it was the former.

Because after a brief pause, that Yasuo started walking toward him again.

In an instant, Theshine’s Riven in the brush activated her ult and drew her blade!

Runic energy surged around the broken sword, instantly transforming it into a massive emerald blade!

Closer!

This was the moment!

A glint flashed in Theshine’s eyes, and his Riven leapt high, swinging the giant blade!

Broken Wings!

QAWAQAR!

A perfect one-shot combo!

With these items, and Theshine’s always precise sense for HP and damage, he was confident the enemy wouldn’t even get a skill off.

But what Theshine never expected was—

The instant he leapt up with the giant blade, shards of ice suddenly swept across the river from the brush at the riverbank, freezing everything in their path!

Glacial Fissure!

Braum!

It was Braum’s ult!

But neither side’s bot tower was down yet, and this was right at the dragon fight—

Why was the support at top river?

And everything looked like it had been set up in advance...

Before Theshine could think more, the next moment, Yasuo in the river dashed forward, sword in hand, turning into a whirlwind as he charged in!
